This is the second case I used for my new rig. The first one was pretty small and cheap (20 $) and didn't have enough airflow so my CPU (AMD FX-8320) was getting pretty hot. I replaced it and got this one and I'm pretty satisfied now. it has the PSU mount on the buttom, and has enough space to mount a larger 1000+ watt PSU on it. Next to the PSU mount there's a 12 or 8 cm fan mount, another intake next to it (without a fan mount) there's a 12 cm fan on the front. The optical drive bay lids are made of a metallic mesh and I've mounted a 12 cm fan behind them with zip ties. there are 2 exhausts on the top taking 12 cm fans, and they can take a radiator in case of water cooling. there's a exhaust on the back, with a 12 cm fan. It also has 18 cm fan mounted on the left side panel. There's also a fan controller on the front panel, in case your fans support it.
behind the motherboard mount, on the CPU socket location, it's cut out, so you have the option to mount a bigger and heavier fan on your CPU or just cut out the right panel to mount a fan behind the CPU socket.
All in all, it's a pretty good case. It can take up to 34.0 cm VGAs, and only the GTX 980 is that large now. The design is nice (for my taste anyway) and the only problem it has in the lack of USB 3.0 ports on the front.
Pros
Cons
Multiple fan mounts provide good air flow. Has space to mount a water cooling kit. Can take large VGAs.
No USB 3,0 Port
